<h2>Manager Transactions</h2>
<h4><a name="m1"/>Managing Employee Information</h4>
<p><a name="m11"/>The main responsibility of a manager of The Loop is to make sure sales are high, and his employees are doing their job well. The manager homepage contains his or her own information on one side, and a list of all employees on the other. To edit employee info, simply click on one of their names to get to their profile, using the &quot;Update&quot; button to save fields.</p>
<p>Managers also have the special ability to delete users from The Loop by clicking &quot;All Customers&quot; on their profile page, and then clicking ***DELETE USER*** on the right-hand side.</p>
<h4><a name="m12"/>Obtaining Sales Reports</h4>
<p>From the toolbar, Managers can choose sales reports to view, including monthly breakdowns, top sellers, and revenue charts. Simply choose the report type and click &quot;Submit&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><a name="cr1"/>Customer Rep Transactions</h2>
<h4><a name="cr11"/>Advertisements</h4>
<p>The Loop's main source of income is through advertisements. Customer reps must manage these to maximize profit. From the toolbar, a customer rep can click &quot;Advertisements&quot; and get a full list of advertised items. From here, he or she can also get a list of the top 10 highest-grossing items.</p>
<p>To create an ad, simply click &quot;Create New Ad&quot; and fill in the required fields. The &quot;Active/Inactive&quot; field is a soft-delete, so that even if an item is no longer advertised, it is kept in the records. To edit an existing ad, simply click the Edit button to the right of it.</p>
<h4><a name="cr12"/>Transactions</h4>
<p>Customer Reps also need to maintain sales records. Click the &quot;Transactions&quot; button in the customer rep toolbar. This page allows you to sort by Date, Customer, or Item. To manually record a transaction, just click &quot;Record Transaction&quot; and fill out the required fields.</p>
<h4><a name="cr13"/>Managing Customer Information</h4>
<p>Like the manager with his employees, a customer rep should be able to view and edit customer information. The customer rep's homepage has a list of all customers on it. To view a profile, simply click the name. From here you may view their circles or update their personal information</p>
<p><strong><a name="cr14"/>Suggestions</strong></p>
<p>Finally, it is the job of a customer rep to keep customers up to date with relavent advertisements and news. There are two ways to do this: First, a customer rep may click a customer's profile and click the &quot;Item Suggestions&quot; button. This returns a list of items the customer may like based on past purchases. Second, a customer rep may create a mailing list by clicking &quot;Mailing Lists&quot; on their homepage and saving the .csv file of all Customer email addresses.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><a name="c1"/>Customer Transactions</h2>
<h4><a name="c11"/>Circle Management</h4>
<p>The Loop is all about Circles. One of the keys to the service is that a customer may create as many circles as they like, and it will be private to anyone who isn't a member</p>
<p>A customer's circles are displayed on their homepage. To create a new circle, simply fill out the fields at the bottom of the table and click &quot;New&quot;. To view the circle's Page, click the circle on the table. From here, you may update the circle or add users via a search. After choosing to add a user to a circle, the user will have to approve the request.</p>
<h4><a name="c12"/>Joining Circles</h4>
<p>Customers may find circles that peak their interest and request to join. Click the &quot;All Circles&quot; button in the tool bar and choose a circle to join by clicking it. Once a request has been made, the circle owner must approve you before you can see any content. You may leave any circle at any time, unless you are the owner, in which case you must delete it.</p>
<p>To view invites into other people's circles or requests to join yours, click the &quot;Join Requests&quot; button.</p>
<p><strong><a name="c13"/>Posts, Comments, and Likes</strong></p>
<p>All the content on Circle Pages are in the form of Posts and Comments. To post on a circle page, simply type in the Post box and click &quot;Post&quot;. To comment on a post, enter a comment and click &quot;new comment&quot;. You may also like or unlike any comment or post. Note that only the page owner may delete comments and posts.</p>
<p><strong><a name="c14"/>Messaging</strong></p>
<p>Some people may use The Loop for private use as well. It allows for basic textual messages between members. Click the &quot;Messages&quot; button to view your inbox. Red messages haven't been read yet. Click a message for its thread, or delete the message by clicking the X next to it. You may of course also compose a new message to any other member of The Loop.</p>
<p><strong><a name="c15"/>Buying</strong></p>
<p>The Loop's market place is a great place to find inexpensive products. Click &quot;Advertisements&quot; for a full list of Advertised items. Click &quot;Purchase&quot; and enter an amount to buy an item.</p>
